I have been on these devil pills to stop breakthrough bleeding and it made it worse!!! As a matter of fact, it added to it. I would have mild acne during my period from time to time. I now look like I have road rash on my face!!! I have tried everything including Proactiv. NOTHING works except getting off of them! I work out 5 days a week, including weight training. I diet and exercise diligently. I have put on almost 10 pounds in less than 3 months. Not muscle... I can't seem to stop it. My chest went up OVER a cup size. When you're a C with an athletic body and go up to almost a DD, it is NOT good. I was so desperate to get off of these, I called my doctor and quit mid pack. I was told it's ok so as long as you wait until your next period (not the spotting that comes after quitting mid-pack) to start a new pill. Probably better to wait a couple of cycles. My advice ===STAY AWAY FROM THESE PILLS=== If you are on them, get off ASAP! Good luck, ladies. Hope this helps someone out!

I have been on Loestrin for a little over a month. Ever since I started I have had a bizarre rash behind my legs, on my elbows and behind my leg. Although the elbow rash has subsided, the other 2 are getting worse plus I am now getting it in between my breasts (I am a DD cup). I thought it best to call the doctor, who told me they've never heard of this as a side effect and I should go see a dermatologist. I dont want to spend the time or money on going to see another doctor. Any advice?
